Port forwarding with win2k ics

[kw3i]

hey guys whats up, can anyone answer this for me. i am using a win2k box for NAT and i have a webcam i want to use on one of my internal computers, but i want it to be able to be seen by the rest of the world. i was wondering if there was a way to tell what port the camera is using so i can forward it through the gateway box. also, if this helps anyone the software i am using for the camera is a freeware called TrueTech Webcam 2.2 personal edition (www.camerades.com). if anyone knows what port that software works on that would probably suffice, although i would like to know how to be able to tell what port a service is running on if i dont know. thx!

Well, are you using ICS or RRAS? If you are, you can set filters that will foward data through your NAT router to an internal machine.

To find out what service is running, you can drop to a Command Prompt and type is NETSTAT. You will see a list of applications that have made a connection to certain UDP/TCP ports. You should notice the TIME_WAIT entries. Your netcam software should have an entry that is in the TIME_WAIT stage, and you should be able to get the LOCAL TCP/UDP port from there.

What shadow said...u need to use RRAS not ICS. I have a thread in this forum explaing how to set RRAS up. just do a quick search.

Well you could still forward the ports using ICS but RRAS would be a better way of doing it.
